The prior art software, however, only allows the user to make configuration changes at a single point rather than at multiple points using the concept of state based child points.
With the prior art software the user also does not have the option to filter the data to only show the data that was collected for a specific state.

Embodiment Construction

[0034] Flow charts illustrating the operation of the inventive system software are provided by FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C. More particularly, FIG. 1A is a flow chart of the configuration of state-enabled system software and starts at block 10. At block 12 the data points are configured. At block 14 the machinery is configured. As shown in block 16 the configuration of state qualified variables to define the machinery states is performed. In block 18 state-enabled points are created and associated with appropriate state qualified variables. Finally, in block 20 the set points and data storage criteria for each state-based point are configured.

[0035]FIG. 1B shows the data acquisition flow chart for the inventive system software. In particular, in block 30 data is received for a point. In block 32 the data is processed against alarm set points configured at the parent point. In block 34 the data is processed against alarm set points configured at the child state-enabled point that are “in st...

Abstract

This invention allows users to set different alarm conditions and data storage criteria for multiple data points based on the operating modes (states) of their machinery. The users will also be able to selectively view the collected data based on the machinery states.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to a system and method for enabling or disabling data storage for data points related to heavy machinery and, in particular, to machine trains such as, for example, hydro turbine generator plants. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Current software suites have functionality that allows users to turn on and off data storage for a set of data points based on the value from a single state variable. If the state variable indicates that the state is “in state,” then data is stored. If the state variable indicates that the state is “out of state,” then data is not stored. [0003] Still other software has functionality that allows the user to configure data storage and alarming for data points for 3 specific states (online, offline, and steady state). The prior art software, however, only allows the user to make configuration changes at a single point rather than at multiple points using the concept of state based child p...
